House Quotes

Foreman: What do you expect me to do House? Quit? Cry?
House: Actually, I expect you to act like what you are - my employee, my subordinate, my bitch.

Cameron: She's got an appointment with her opthamaologist on Tuesday and an appointment with her gynecologist on Thursday. Multiple appointments with multiple doctors...a symptom of Munchausen's.
House: Or - just thinking out of the box here - she has a vagina and trouble reading.

House: Labs, shmabs. A good diagnostician reads between the labs.
